Pictured beside the Verizon Samsung Fascinate (left) is the upcoming Samsung (i400) Continuum (right). This smartphone was leaked yesterday and is another smartphone to look out for. It's running the Android OS and sports a small "Ticker" OLED secondary display at the bottom for a bunch of notifications. When this launches, it'll be the fifth Galaxy S smartphone available in the US and it'll likely cost anywhere between $150 and $200 on a 2-year contract (I'm betting on $200). Specs are still unknown but it reportedly features a Super AMOLED 3.5-inch touchscreen display, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a 5MP camera, Bing is the default search engine, and Android 2.1 with the Touchwiz UI. Head on over to Android Central for a bunch of other pictures.

T-Mobile has just released their latest handset, the Samsung T249, which is an entry-level device. It packs a 1.3MP camera along with Bluetooth support. This handset is definitely affordable at $9.99 on a 2-year contract and $99.99 contract-free. Check it out on T-Mobile.

There was a leak today and the faucet is definitely still running. This is a huge leak regarding Verizon's upcoming devices and they're all below for you via Engadget. Before you scroll down I'll just mention the best / worst parts.

The Storm 3 reportedly isn't headed to Verizon anymore and that might be good / bad news depending on whoever you are. The rest of the BlackBerry line-up will reportedly be updated in October so maybe that means the OS 6.0 update is on the way. The Continuum - just like we heard this morning - should be available in late October or maybe in early November. The Motorola DROID Pro is reportedly also going to hit the carrier in late October / early November - this will be the Global Edition of the DROID 2. The Motorola Venus is apparently going to launch October and will sport a BlackBerry-style. This smartphone will sport a 1GHz CPU along with the Android OS. The LG enV Pro is apparently going to launch in November with Android and a 1GHz CPU. The HTC Merge that has been leaking out lately is reportedly also going to be available in the next month or so with a 1GHz CPU and it's another global handset. Clearly, it's reportedly going to be a big month for Verizon.

Last, but not least, there's the Motorola Stingray tablet which will sport a 10-inch display, 16GB of internal storage, Nvidia's Tegra 2 chipset, CDMA connectivity, upgradeable to (4G) LTE support, and Android 3.0 "Gingerbread". There's also talk of a bunch of hubs, so you can check that out below.

The BlackBerry 9570 Storm3 has been canceled. It could still launch somewhere, but it won't be on Verizon, apparently -- and considering that it was shaping up to be an ever-so-slightly-retuned Storm2, we can't say we blame them.

Samsung SCH-i400 Continuum on tap for late October. We'd heard from our other source that it'd be on tap for early November, but either way, the wait shouldn't be a long one. It's got a 1GHz processor and is known internally by the codename "Garnett."

Motorola Venus in October. This is an interesting one -- Verizon bills it as having "BlackBerry look and feel" with a QWERTY keyboard up front below the screen, possibly mimicking T-Mobile's Charm, but higher-end thanks to a 1GHz processor and both CDMA and GSM / HSPA radios on top of Froyo.

Motorola Droid Pro tentatively scheduled for late October or early November. It's listed as having a 1.3GHz processor, Froyo, global radios, and Flash 10. We still have every reason to believe this is the phone we've been calling the Droid 2 World Edition (or Global Edition), but it's unclear whether it'll replace the Droid 2 altogether.

HTC Merge / Lexicon / Lexikon coming in late October / early November, too. Don't be fooled: all of these code names refer to the same device, and even Verizon's communication uses both "Merge" and "Lexicon" interchangeably. As expected, it's a global phone with a 1GHz Snapdragon.

LG enV Pro -- with Android -- coming in November. In all likelihood, this is the phone we referred to as the enV Touch 2 back in August. It'll maintain the enV Touch form factor and feature a 1GHz processor plus a global radio, making it the best enV (and frankly, possibly the best Android phone from LG anywhere in the world) to date.

Motorola Stingray tablet in Q1 of 2011. Now this is interesting. We'd previously thought the Stingray would be a smaller tablet, but it now seems it'll be a full 10 inches with Android 3.0 Gingerbread, 16GB of on-board storage, and Tegra 2. Oh, but that's not the best part: it'll also be "hardware upgradeable to LTE," initially launching with CDMA alone. Whether that means you'll need to purchase and insert some sort of module or something, we're not exactly sure.

FiveSpot next month, three USB modems for LTE in November, LTE MiFi after that. After a few fleeting rumors that it had been deep-sixed, it seems that the ZTE-sourced FiveSpot mobile hotspot will finally launch on October 7. We'll then get a trio of USB LTE modems in November from LG, Pantech, and Novatel -- perfect for Verizon's first round of commercial LTE launches -- and an LTE MiFi (from Novatel, naturally) either in the fourth quarter or first quarter. The "initial launch" of it will be domestic only, presumably meaning no GSM support.

It looks like the HTC Spark is the next Windows Phone 7 handset to leak out in a bunch of photos. Of course, this is expected since the WP7 launch should be sometime in the next couple of weeks. Unfortunately, the official spec sheet (rumoured one - which could be true - here) for this handset is still unknown so we'll have to wait just a little bit longer for those oh-so-important pieces of information.

Telus has become the second carrier in Canada to release the BlackBerry Torch. This smartphone is arguably RIM's best one yet and features a 3.2-inch touchscreen display, an optical trackpad, a slide-up QWERTY keyboard, and OS 6.0 with the new Webkit browser. This is available for $199.99 on a 3-year contract, $499.99 on a 2-year contract, $549.99 on a 1-year contract, and $599.99 contract-free. Check it out on Telus.

An exclusive coming from Engadget has just broke the news on what the Samsung (i400) Continuum will be. First of all, it's running Android and it's headed to Verizon with the Galaxy S branding (the party continues). This smartphone actually packs two displays on the front, the primary large display and a smaller secondary OLED display at the bottom. Apparently, it's being called the "Ticker" so you'll get notifications, weather, and even some RSS updates. Specs are unknown right now but it seems to sport a microSD card slot on the side. This could be Verizon's next flagship device - launch date is unknown right now.

Radio Shack or The Shack will be launching the T-Mobile G2 for just $149.99 on a 2-year contract which is already a sweet deal. They've sweetened that deal by getting said smartphone on October 3rd which is a few days before T-Mobile and other stores get it. Looks like there is one more reason to step into that store.

T-Mobile is said to be launching the Cliq 2 in the near future and apparently it's going by the codename "Begonia". This handset is said to feature a new slide-out QWERTY keyboard, 3G hotspot functionalities, WiFi calling, and Android 2.2 with Blur. Clearly, no specs have been leaked yet but if this is true the rumour pegs it for a November 1st launch. That's just about a month away, so hopefully the price is right.

Toshiba has just announced their latest notebook, the Satellite C660. This notebook is headed to Europe, Africa, and the Middle East sometime in Q4 of this year. Specs include a 15.6-inch display, up to an AMD Athlon II / Intel Core i3 CPU, integrated graphics, up to 8GB of RAM, up to a 640GB HDD, and a multitouch trackpad. This laptop will have a pro model that will be running Windows 7 Professional along with a different black casing and a non-reflective screen, but those are just about the only differences. Sorry, the price wasn't mentioned but hopefully we find it out soon.

Another HTC Windows Phone 7 handset has just been spotted and we've heard about this one before. It's the HTC Mondrian, which could be sporting a 1.3GHz CPU according to old rumours. There's really not much to tell you but this could be the first press shot of a Windows Phone 7 handset.

It looks like a Sprint document has just leaked out and it shows two new Android handsets that will be headed to the carrier. The first one is on the left, the Kyocera Zio that will be released as the Sanyo Zio. The second one is something we have heard of before but this is the first time that we've actually seen it. I'm talking about the Samsung Transform, which appears to be running Android - like I already mentioned. Hopefully we know more about the Trasform soon.

We know that Virgin Mobile should be releasing the Samsung Intercept (M910) soon and it looks like it has just been priced. Contract-free Target looks like they'll be launching the Virgin Mobile Samsung Intercept for $249.99. The Intercept features a 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen display, a 3.2MP camera, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a microSD card slot, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, and a 1,500mAh battery.

Apparently, someone (his name is Kyle) from Android Guys spotted an unknown Motorola handset while he was on a Chicago public bus. This is the same guy who spotted the DROID X a few days before release so we'll really just have to take his word for it. He drew a mock-up of the handset (above) and mentioned that it featured MOTOBLUR, a 3.5-inch touchscreen display, three touch-sensitive buttons (no search), a front-facing camera, and a live wallpaper. Of course, we'll really just have to wait for another leak and a picture of this handset in the wild. The guy on the bus who owned the handset couldn't say anything about besides that it's intended for girls.

WMPowerUserbroke the news about there being a Samsung Omnia 7 in the works and it looks like IntoMobile managed to scoop some photos of said smartphone. Of course, it'll be running Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 and it looks a bit like the Samsung i8700. However, the Omnia 7 sports a curved top and appears to be a bit wider than the i8700 so they actually could be two different devices. Specs are unknown but Microsoft does have their set of guidelines for everyone to follow so they should be on par with everything that we love.

AT&T should be launching the BlackBerry Curve 3G (9300) and the Pearl 3G (9100) soon and it looks it won't be here as soon as we thought it would be. AT&T will be releasing the Pearl 3G on October 17th for $149.99 on a 2-year contract while the Curve 3G will be available for the holiday season for $99.99 on a 2-year contract. Of course, both smartphones will be running OS 5.0 when they launch but the Curve 3G will be upgradeable to OS 6.0 whenever RIM is ready.

Gateway has just announced and released three new devices, two of which are all in one PCs. These first two, the ZX4951 and the ZX6951, and sports a 21.5 and 23-inch, respectively. Both models sport a touchscreen Full HD (1,920 x 1,080 resolution) display, a VESA mount, Intel Pentium to Core i3 CPU options, optional Blu-ray, an integrated TV tuner, 4GB of RAM (up to 16GB), an integrated webcam, WiFi support, 5.1-channel audio, and a 500GB / 640GB HDD. They're available right not for $899 and $999, respectively.

The last device that they've unveiled and released is part of their NV Series, the NV59C66u. This notebook comes in 15.6-inch (1,366 x 768 resolution) and 17.1-inch models (1,600 x 900 resolution) along with integrated WiMAX connectivity. Specs include Intel Core i3 / i5 CPU options, 4GB of DDR3 RAM (up to 8GB), up to a 500GB HDD, WiFi b/g/n support, DVD / Blu-ray drives, and Windows 7. You can get these notebooks right now for $700.

Altek has just announced that they should be launching their first camera running Android, dubbed the Leo, sometime in Q1 2011. This will be hitting Europe before anywhere else and the main focus is definitely on the camera. Specs include a 3.2-inch touchscreen display, HSDPA/HSUPA connectivity, a 14MP camera with 3x optical zoom, a flash, and 720p HD video recording, and Android 2.1. Of course, they're touting this as a smartphone with digital camera functionalities. It's looking pretty awesome on paper, but I wonder how good it will be in the real world.

Sony has just updated their 13.1-inch Vaio Z notebook and it's a great update if you got the money. Beneath the Full HD (1,920 x 1,080 resolution) display you'll be getting an Intel Core i5-460M 2.53GHz CPU, 4GB of DDR3 RAM (up to 8GB), a 256GB SSD, a DVD burner (Blu-ray drive for an extra $500), Nvidia GeForce GT 330M graphics, and Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. While that may all sound great and dandy, the base model is going for a whopping $2,249.99 so you better have some money handy. Check it out on Sony Style if you don't believe me.

An upcoming Motorola handset has just been approved by the FCC (here) and the user manual has just leaked out and it's for the i886. This will be an Android handset and will sport Bluetooth support, PTT functionalities, GPS support, a 2MP camera, a microSD card slot, and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Price, release date, and the carrier it will launch are still all unknown so we'll have to wait around for those important factors.

Toshiba has just unveiled their latest 3D notebook, the Satellite A665 3D. This notebooks has 3D capabilities using Nvidia's 3D Vision technology and it comes with a pair of active glasses in the box. Specs include a 15.6-inch LED-backlit display, Core i5-460M / Core i7-740QM CPU options, Nvidia GeForce GTS 350M graphics, up to 6GB of RAM, up to a 640GB HDD, WiFi / WiMAX support, an HDMI 1.4 port, and optional Bluetooth. Of course, the standard battery is a 6-cell one with an option for a 12-cell battery if you want. This notebook will be available sometime in October for $1,299.

Dell's 7-inch Looking Glass tablet will be launching in the next few weeks according to Dell's Greater China President, Amit Midha. He also mentioned that there'll be a bunch more tablets in the works from them including a 10, 4, and even a 3-inch model - these should get announced in a few months. The 4 and 3-inch models could be Android-based phones though, which would still be pretty great. He confirmed that the 7-inch model will be running Android so this should be competing with the expensive Samsung Galaxy Tab.

Rogers has just released their own smartphone, the BlackBerry Torch. For now, this smartphone is only available on Rogers for $199.99 on a 3-year contract, $499.99 on a 2-year contract, $559.99 on a 1-year contract, and for $609.99 contract-free. This smartphone is arguably the best BlackBerry that RIM has to offer. It features a 3.2-inch touchscreen display, a 624MHz CPU, 512MB of internal flash storage, a microSD card slot (4GB in the box), a 5MP AF camera with a flash, WiFi / GPS support, and OS 6.0 with the new Webkit browser. Check it out on Rogers.

Finally, it's official so all the rumours are now cleared up. Fido now has their first Android handset, the Acer Liquid E. This smartphone is now available for $30 on a 3-year contract and for $375 contract-free. Beneath the 3.5-inch touchscreen display you'll get an underclocked 768MHz Snapdragon CPU, a 5MP camera, WiFi / GPS / Bluetooth, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a microSD card slot, and Android 2.1. Check it out on Fido.

All the rumours can stop right now. Nintendo has just announced that their upcoming gaming handheld, the 3DS, will be available in Japan on February 26th, 2011 for ¥25,000 (around $300). In the next month, March 2011, the 3DS will also be available in Europe and the US (maybe Canada as well, I guess). At launch, the Nintendo 3DS will be available in two colours and that's cosmo black and aqua blue which is pictured. The company has announced that your Mii will be created using the 3DS' front-facing camera which is pretty neat. In the box, you'll be getting a 2GB SD card which isn't too bad.

There's another piece of great news. On the 3DS there'll be a virtual console store where you'll be able to download classic Game Boy and Game Boy Advance games and play them straight from your 3DS, which is pretty awesome!

Coolpad has just shown off their latest smartphone that's China bound. This is being dubbed the N930 and it's wrapped in a titanium body which should mean that the quality is quite good. Specs include a 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen display with a 480 x 800 resolution, a 1GHz CPU, four touch-sensitive buttons, and Android 2.1. This smartphone will be upgradeable to version 2.2 "Froyo" sometime in the future but it's unknown exactly when that will happen.

Earlier today a few photos of the upcoming HP Slate have leaked out again. This tablet is going to be running Windows 7 (clearly), so you'll be able to take advantage of the infinite apps that you can find all over the web. The display is said to measure in at 8.9-inches with a 1,024 x 600 resolution. Of course, Windows 7 isn't the best tablet OS out there but it should be worth it if the price is right. Apparently, this could be launching in the next month or so. Check out the Slash Gear link below for a few more photos.

Update: According to Engadget, during an analyst call earlier today, HP's Todd Bradley actually mentioned that their company will have "a WebOS-powered PalmPad that will be set for release in early 2011." Those were his exact words. This is another HP tablet that they're working on internally but don't be surprised if they decide to change the name before it gets released. Hopefully we'll see it at CES in early 2011.

Best Buy may have just leaked the prices for the upcoming Fido Acer Liquid E smartphone. This Android-based handset is apparently going to be available for $29.99 on a 3-year contract and $349.99 on a 2-year contract, which would be quite expensive. If these prices are true, maybe the contract-free pricing is somewhere between $400 and $500. It's going to be available tomorrow so everything will be official soon.

Vodafone has just announced two of their upcoming smartphones, the 945 and the 553. The first one is the higher-end of the two (pictured above) since it does have the higher number. The Vodafone 945 features a 3.2-inch WQVGA capacitive touchscreen display, HSDPA connectivity, a 5MP camera with a flash, WiFi / Bluetooth support, GPS, 300MB of internal storage, a microSD card slot, and Android 2.1. This handset will be available in silver and black.

Vodafone has also announced the 553 (below) and this one features a 2.8-inch touchscreen display, a 2MP camera, Bluetooth support, an FM radio, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, Opera Mini 5 browser, and a microSD card slot.

Prices for either phone are still unavailable but they should be available for the holiday season.

It took a bit longer than I expected, but Telus has finally released the Samsung Galaxy Apollo. This Android-based handset sports a 3.2-inch touchscreen display with a 240 x 400 resolution, a microSD card slot, a 3MP camera that can record 720p HD video, WiFi support, GPS, an FM radio, a 3.5mm headphone jack, Swype pre-installed, and version 2.1 of the OS. This is available right now for $49.99 on a 3-year contract, $149.99 on a 2-year contract, $199.99 on a 1-year contract, and $249.99 contract-free which isn't too bad. Check out on Telus.

LG has just announced their latest notebook, the Xnote A510 and this is not your average laptop. This notebook packs a 15.6-inch LED-backlit display, Intel Core i7-740QM / 840QM quad-core CPU options, Nvidia GeForce GT 425M graphics, Blu-ray drive, up to a 640GB HDD, 4GB of DDR3 RAM, a 1.3MP webcam, WiFi b/g/n support, a fingerprint reader, a couple of USB 2.0 ports, and an HDMI 1.4 port. I haven't even mentioned the best part about this notebook though. This notebook features a Full HD (1,920 x 1,080) display that is 3D-capable and the notebook itself features TriDef's 2D to 3D technology. Yes, it does ship with polarized 3D glasses. Sometime in October this notebook will be hitting Asia, South America, Africa, and the Middle East. Price is still unknown though.

If you're in need for a new gaming desktop - to practice getting your APM up in StarCraft II - then look no further in Acer's new Predator line-up. These new models, the AG5900 and the AG7750, sport some pretty hefty specs for a price. The Predator AG5900 is pictured above and sports an Intel Core i7-870 CPU, 8GB of DDR3 RAM, an ATI Radeon HD 5850 GPU, two HDD bays, and up to 1.5TB of HDD storage. This one's going for $1,350 and is actually the lower-end of the two models.

The other desktop PC is the Predator AG7750 which sports a liquid-cooled Intel Core i7-930 2.8GHz CPU, 12GB of DDR3 RAM, Nvidia GTX 470 graphics, and 3-way SLI if that's your thing. This is available in the US right now for $1,999.

We've already heard about the Acer Aspire Revo 3700 before but it's finally been priced and dated. In case you forgot, this nettop features a dual-core Intel Atom D525 1.8GHz CPU, 4GB of DDR3 RAM, a 500GB HDD, four USB 2.0 ports, VGA / HDMI outputs, WiFi b/g/n support, a mini PCIe slot, a gigabit Ethernet port, and even Nvidia's next-gen Ion graphics. About the price and date, it's available right now and the base model is going for $349. That's a pretty decent price tag for your future HTPC.

Lenovo has just shown off their latest (don't call it a netbook) 11-inch notebook. This one's the ThinkPad Edge 11 which crams AMD single / dual-core CPU options and even Intel Core i3 / i5 options in the small body. The AMD model will start at the equivalent of $450, while the Intel model will start at around $550. The sad part about this news is that this notebook isn't going to be hitting North America because we already have the X100e.

Check out Engadget's review for it in another post. The base model they reviewed sports an Intel Core i3-U380 1.33GHz ULV CPU, 2GB of RAM, and a 250GB HDD in case you wanted to know.

Acer has just introduced two new all in one PCs, the AZ3100 and the AZ5700. These PCs are AMD and Intel-based systems, respectively, and the AMD model is, of course, cheaper. The AZ3100 features a 21.5-inch display (1,920 x 1,080 resolution), a 2GHz Athlon II 170u CPU, 3GB of RAM, Nvidia GeForce 9200 graphics, and a 500GB HDD. The AZ5700, on the other hand, sports a 23-inch Full HD (1,920 x 1,080 resolution) multitouch display, a Core i5-650 3.2GHz CPU, 4GB of RAM, Intel HD graphics, a TV tuner, an IR blaster, and a 1TB HDD.

Both systems feature some similarities including WiFi b/g/n support, HDMI / six USB 2.0 port, 5.1-channel audio, Windows 7, and a wireless keyboard and mouse in the box. They're available right now for $599 and $1,099, respectively.

German e-tailers have listed two upcoming Windows Phone 7 smartphones. The first one is the HTC 7 Trophy which will be the cheaper of the two, currently listed on Simyo for €428.40 ($575 USD). The other one has been spotted on Amazon Germany for €499 ($670 USD) and it's the LG Optimus 7 (E900). The Amazon listing also tells us that the Optimus 7 will feature a 3.5-inch touchscreen display along with a 5MP camera. We should see these two at the official launch of Microsoft's Windows Phone 7.

At this point we already know that the Samsung i8700 will be a Windows Phone 7 smartphone and it looks like it has just hit the GCF. The Unwired spotted this one this morning and this one's definitely going to be hitting Europe. This smartphone supports quad-band GSM connectivity (900/1900/2100 MHz bands) so that's good enough for 3G overseas. If you're looking to pick this one up then you better hope for the North American model in the next few weeks.

In Rogers' own systems, it looks like they could be launch Apple's iPhone 4 in white in the near future. Of course, the white model won't cost more than the black one but I doubt they'll have them for long if they do get them soon. The screenshot says it'll cost $359 for the 16GB model and $469 for the 32GB model. The white model actually hasn't been available anywhere so it'll be really surprising to see it launch in Canada before anywhere else so maybe AT&T will release them soon as well.

Another HTC device has been spotted in the wild and this one's reportedly headed to Verizon. The name is unknown right now but the model number is reportedly ADR6325. We've seen this device before so this isn't the first time but it is the first time we're seeing it in all black. This smartphone reportedly features a touchscreen display, a microSD card slot, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a 5MP camera, a SIM card slot, and Android 2.2 with the new Sense UI. This should be a world device and could also be a 4G LTE device that will be hitting the carrier in 2011. The CPU is unknown but it could be 1.2GHz.

Update: According to Engadget, this smartphone could be the HTC Merge. They also mention that this could be the CDMA variant of the T-Mobile G2 / Desire Z so it could feature the new Qualcomm 800MHz CPU.

RIM is holding their DevCon event right now and they have just jumped onto the tablet wagon. Dubbed the PlayBook (slightly better than BlackPad or SurfBook), this tablet sports a 7-inch display (1,024 x 600 resolution), an ARM Cortex A9 dual-core 1GHz CPU, 1GB of RAM, an e-reader feature, microHDMI / microUSB ports, 1080p video playback, a front-facing 3MP HD camera, a rear-facing 5MP camera, WiFi b/g/n / Bluetooth support, a 9.7mm thin body, HTML5 / Adobe Flash support, DLNA, BlackBerry App World access, and an OS made by QNX. This WiFi-only tablet (for now, at least) will, of course, "pair up" with your BlackBerry and will be available in early 2011. They're calling this the "first professional tablet" and it looks like it actually has some potential! Check out the video below if you're interested. As of right now, the price, battery life, and internal storage are still unknown.

Verizon has finally confirmed that the Motorola DROID 2 R2-D2 Edition will be available online and in select stores starting on September 30th. That's just three days away for you Star Wars nerds out there. Unfortunately, this edition will come at a slight premium, costing you $249 on a 2-year contract after a $100 mail-in rebate which is an extra $50 than the original one. It's just a small price to pay for a collector's item.

This morning Sharp has just announced two of their tablets / e-book readers, dubbed the Galapagos. The "Mobile Type" model is smaller, sporting a 5.5-inch LCD touchscreen display with a 1,024 x 600 resolution and sports a trackball for some extra navigation. The larger "Home Type" model doesn't have a trackball but it does sport a larger 10.8-inch LCD display with a 1,366 x 800 resolution so you'll have to use your fingers to scroll through the pages.

Both of these Galapagos devices have WiFi b/g support, games (via apps), a pre-installed social app, and some version of Android. This is expected to hit the Japanese market in December of this year. It's not exactly the biggest splash of the year, but it should be a decent device.
